Hi all! Long time lurker but first time posting. I have been using poodle forum for the last year and half doing tons of research. I want to thank you all for all the help you have provided (without even knowing it!). Everytime I would google something I would some how end up back here...

Hello!! I am (hopefully) bringing home a miniature poodle puppy in early December from the amazing Julie of Caralot Poodles. We are so excited and starting to do research on everything we will need to set up a great environment for him/her, as this is our first miniature poodle. The puppy will...

Hello everyone, Big Ben and I would like to introduce our new addition, Josephine! We’re calling her Josie. She’s now 11 weeks old, and due an unfortunate Giardia diagnosis at her new pup vet appointment, she’s not having the beginning we’d all imagined. The one l imagined had Big Ben showing...

Hello all, Big Ben and I welcomed a new Spoo pup named Josephine, “Josie”, on July 2nd. At her first vet visit 4 days later, she was positive for Giardia. She was 9 weeks old at the time. I was unfamiliar with Giardia at the time. My vet did not seem overly concerned, nor did he give me much...

I couldn't decide whether to make my thread a diary under "52 Weeks of..." or a training log under "General Training & Obedience"...so I decided to make it both, under the general term "Poodle Talk." Tessa the blue Standard Poodle puppy is coming home tomorrow! We are going to drive to...

To new and current puppy parents/fellow poodle owners, I’m currently doing some research on how new puppy parents find advice on raising their puppy and how comfortable they feel doing this online. I’d be really grateful if you could spend a few minutes answering the follow questions: Where...

Hi all! I would love your help and advice!!! Our family really, really, really wants a poodle! One of my sons is allergic to dogs (multiple testing has confirmed this - he gets a tight chest, coughs, and gets itchy eyes) but he does OK with my parents' cavapoo when we stay with them (they live...

Hello Everyone, my son is getting a toy poodle or shall I say our family is getting a dog. We are all excited and frightened a little bit as well. We never had a dog and now we will have a puppy. I will be asking a lot of questions soon as we all newbies to it. Please be patient with us.

Hi all! I've been lurking around reading all of your wonderful and helpful posts all summer, so thank you for all for being such a supportive and helpful community. We brought Frankie the moyen poodle home on July 25th at 8 weeks and she's been home with us for 2 months now (although it feels...

Since I’m getting closer and closer to actually bringing home an mpoo puppy, I started doing some research into the things I should get to be prepared. So I made a shopping list. But I wanted to throw this out here and see if I missed any big ones. Are the other things I should be getting right...

Hi everyone, My partner and I have just got a new standard poodle puppy, she is beautiful! This is our third full day with her so this post may be a bit premature but I was hoping for some advice in regards to teaching her to be left alone as she is crying whenever we leave the room. She has...

Hi all, First time poodle (and dog, in general) owner here! We recently adopted Ivy, a 14 week old standard poodle puppy. She’s doing well adjusting to our home and family. She loves playing with my kids, chewing her toys, learning for treats, and chasing leaves. She’s starting to like being...

Hello all! So I will be adopting my first poodle puppy in a few weeks from West Coast Poodles. Have you heard of them? She will be a black mini/toy mix and will be my first puppy as I am a 22 yr. old college student so I am just a little nervous. I am looking for advise for a first time owner on...

Hi everyone! I have wanted a standard poodle for the past 8 years! I would see one anywhere and stop what I am doing and run, even across the street, to meet the dog. I absolutley love them. After 4 years of trying and begging, and realizing that I wanted to 'rescue' vs. 'buy' a standard poodle...
